E-billing in the United States is common and the benefits are well known. Many organizations, however, hesitate to expand their e-billing solutions beyond US borders. The challenges are less understood and the risks perceived to be too great. Global-specific issues that must be considered include:

· Laws or regulations on a local, national or even regional level concerning taxes and e-Invoicing

· Country-specific procedural or operational requirements

· Barriers to executing a successful global rollout ranging from multiple accounting systems to cultural differences

· LEDES e-billing formats

· Alternate solutions to accommodate language or format issues, or where computer and internet technology is limited

· Law firm capabilities
